Star Trek Day Trailer

Star Trek Day
Trailer
Star Trek Day Trailer concept, design, and VFX for Compadre.

Celebrate your inner Trekkie on September 8th. The Star Trek Day trailer is an anthem spot, raising awareness for Star Trek Day, a virtual-Con hosted by Wil Wheaton and Mica Burton.

Jeremy W. contributed creative direction, initial storyboard design, and developed the nebula effects technique.

The final Star Trek Day Trailer was produced and executed spectacularly by a talented team of artists hailing from the Compadre star system.

Full project credits below.
Styleframes
The task was to develop a visual delivery system that could carry or display memorable Star Trek footage. In this initial storyboard (several were developed), footage is refracted through the delta - the iconic Starfleet emblem. Nebula-like clouds are also a major design motif.
The delta in frame #3 modeled by Julio Ferrario.
Motion & Comp Test
Volume R & D
Refracted footage was emissive in the initial storyboard design and motion tests. This dynamically illuminated the adjacent nebula to serendipitous effect.

The nebula were created using Octane's Fog Volume and native C4D noise for volume displacement and added detail.
